Proof that Transformers could have used more old British bikes

No explosions, more charm

If Transformers had been produced for the BBC or Masterpiece Theater instead of turned into a Michael Bay acid trip, it might have looked like Steve Twist's "Norton Commando."

The video, posted below, stars a codgerly robot that we like to envision living at Peter Egan's house. When the world is threatened, the bot transforms into a vintage British motorcycle so he and Peter can go out for coffee and let Bay's GM army destroy Chicago or whatever.
